hitting the big 90
I hit the big 90K miles today. I am happy about that. While hitting that 90K miles, I nearly died. A lady in a minivan (with a kid in the back seat) under an asthma attack, decided to nose dive her minivan into my car -- both of us are going at a good 80 mph. I went onto the shoulder AND the grass and back on the road and finally regain control of my SVX. And she did not even slow down to wave. I followed her and eventually (about 5 miles later) pulled over. I asked her what happened and she started yelling at me saying that she had an asthma attack and that she did not hit my car so I as being an ass for wanting an apology. Great day!
I have a feeling I need a roll cage and cow guards all around my SVX now. That was a close call since at one moment while I was trying to get the SVX under control (from over steer), the car was aiming at the gas tanker. phewww..... Lwin

Hit or miss
<hitting the big 90>
At least you didn't hit the truck or go off into a pole! Jeepers, your guardian angel must have developed rapid heartbeat over that one.....great to hear you're O.K. Some episodes on the open road are nothing to sneeze at.... Don

OK doh kay
Lwin
Sounds like you are lucky. Glad that you are OK. If you can, pursue the lady in law. Not for compensation. She either needs to get herself fixed, or recognise that she has a problem. Joe

Some people do need to be in passenger seats. -- Oh and get a car with ABS. 94/5 L does not come with ABS -- so... I guess watching that cop show on how to drive a non ABS car on discovery does help. Lwin ps. While the car is going out of control, my only fear was hitting that tanker. It never felt like it was going to make a 180 or topple over. Amazing car!!!
